Travel tips for the city of Athens!
From the Port, it takes 20 minutes to drive to the city of Athens. If you wanted to explore Athens on your own, it'll take 1 hour by subway or 40 minutes by bus.
I don't think that's worth it. I would probably take a taxi instead. It should cost about 9 euros each way.
Once you somehow get your way in Athens the city is really walkable. All the popular sites are pretty close to one another.
Because of that, after the tour I felt like I could have explored Athens on my own and saved the money. But I'll let you judge the experience. Our tour cost 95 euros/person.
Top Sights in Athens, Greece:
1) Acropolis
If the line is long, they also have another entrance in the south side that is away from the parking lot so it much fewer people. Tickets for Acropolis is 20 euros a person.
Once you get in it is a little hike up to the top of Acropolis.
Located on the southwest slope of Acropolis is this stone theatre built in 161 AD. This theatre holds 5,000 people and was used for music concerts.
2) Parthenon
The most famous building in the citadel is the Parthenon. It is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.
3) Erechtheion
This is a Greek temple on the north side of Acropolis dedicated to Athena and Poseidon. On the south side of the building is the famous Porch of the Maidens with six female figures as supporting columns.
4) Hadrian's Gate
It was built to celebrate the arrival of the Roman emperor Hadrian. It's kind of like the roman triumphal arches. It is made out of Pentelic marble. This is the same marble used for the Parthenon.
5) Temple of Olympian Zeus
Don't waste your money going into to see the Temple of Olympian Zeus as you can actually see it for free outside the gates. If you want to walk in and admire just how tall these pillars are the entrance fee is 6 euros.
6) Panathenaic Stadium
Next stop: This multipurpose stadium is huge! It is the only stadium in the world built entirely out of marble. It used to be built out of limestone. Marble was used in 144 AD.
7) Athen's White House
I'm here visiting the white house of Greece, but I haven't even visited my own country's White House. It was built in 1897 for Prince Constantine I. Now it is the official residence of the president of the Hellenic Republic.
8) Changing of the Presidential Guards
From here you can see the changing of the presidential guards. Like the guards, in London they also can't make any facial or eye movements and must not show any expression.
9) The Academy of Athens
This building is divided into three orders: Natural Sciences, Letters and Arts, and Moral and Political Sciences.
10) Plaka
Next stop: Plaka. It's an old historical neighborhood of Athens. It is known as the neighborhood of the Gods because it's really close to Acropolis and archaeological sites. The entire area is closed to cars. Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics.

Athens Red Light District Night Walk To Omonia: Is It Dangerous?
Athens Red Light District: This is a Saturday night walk in Athens Greece starting at Victoria Street metro station and walking to the Red Light Area on Filis Street. Then I walk to Acharnon Street towards Omonia Square. The Omonia area is not a good area to walk around at night. There are a lot of drugs, drug addicts, prostitutes and crime. I don't recommend that you walk around Omonia, especially at night. From Omonia Square I head to Athenas Street and see the Athens Beer Festival going on. I continue on Athenas Street to Monastiraki.
Omonia Athens: Walking Tour Of Omonia Square And Metro Station
Omonia Athens: This is a walking tour starting in the Omonia Metro Station in Athens Greece. I walk around Omonia Square in the day when it is less dangerous. Omonia Athens is dangerous at night with much crime, drugs and homeless people. I do not recommend walking around Omonia at night.
Greece: homeless people lead tours of Athens' back streets and alleys
A handful of homeless people in the Greek capital have been offered paid jobs giving tourists a glimpse into their lives on the back streets and alleys of Athens.
Labros Moustakis, one of the tour guides, had his dreams destroyed by the economic crisis.
The 52-year-old Greek from Brazil lives in the Ionis Hotel which has been converted by the city into a shelter for the homeless.
It's perhaps ironic given that he used to be a hotel employee before he lost his job in 2011 and could not pay his…

Ermou Street Athens Greece
Ermou Street (Greek: Οδός Ερμού, Odos Ermou, Hermes Street), is a one and a half kilometer-long road in central Athens, Greece, connecting Kerameikos archaeological site with the Syntagma Square through Monastiraki, Psiri and Thiseio.
It consists of three sections
Graffiti and Streetart, Greek Kreuzberg, Athens - Greece 4K Travel Channel
Graffiti and Street art, two terms that are often mentioned in the same breath, but where are the differences, or is there none?
In Athens, we had the opportunity to learn more during the Greek Kreuzberg - Street Art Tour with Manolis Iliopoulos. Manolis has studied architecture, however, prefers the life as a freelance artist. Also a street artist, he is a connoisseur of the scene and offers guided tours for small groups.
Meeting place is the metro station Monastiraki. From there we go north-east to Psyri, a gentrified neighborhood in Athen. In the early 90s, Psyri was disreputable and it was not without dangers to stroll around here. Today it is an in-quarter with modern restaurants, bars, taverns and small hotels where more and more artists live.
There are various forms of graffiti and street art. These two forms are very different from each other. Graffiti includes as a central component letters that are artistically presented in different ways and with different techniques. Street art usually involves an image.
In the conversation with the graffiti artist Senor, whom we meet by chance, we discussed about the difference. For him, it is a question of the philosophy; graffiti always has to do with letters. The term Street art develops into a commercial name and has to do more and more with selling. Senor writes graffiti for more than 20 years, but not, to make money or to become famous. Nevertheless, his focus is on quality, not quantity. He earns his living with sculptures mixed with video art. Today, he still writes his graffiti with joy, it keeps him a bit a child, as he says. Later we had the opportunity to see a large graffiti, which he had created in four hours.
Talking to a shopkeeper of a graffiti accessories shop we could see that a part of the scene is still moving in a certain gray area.
During the tour, Manolis draws our attention to the painting techniques and how to recognize the different artists. The Russian-born artist Nar works with a black color from a tar-like products. It is applied quickly and wet streaks run down the wall. In the whole area, these drawings can be clearly identified and assigned to the artist.

Graffiti und Streetart, zwei Begriffe die häufig in einem Atemzug genannt werden. Aber wo liegen die Unterschiede, oder gibt es keinen?
In Athen hatten die Gelegenheit bei der Greek Kreuzberg - Street Art Tour mit Manolis Iliopoulos mehr zu erfahren. Manolis hat Architektur studiert, bevorzugt aber ein Leben als freier Künstler. Selbst Streetart-Künstler, ist er ein ausgezeichneter Kenner die Szene und bietet auch Führungen in kleinen Gruppen an.
Treffpunkt ist die Metro Station Monastiraki. Von hier aus geht es in das nordöstlich gelegene Viertel Psyri. Psyri war Anfang der 90er Jahre etwas verrufen und es war nicht ganz ungefährlich hier seine Streifzüge zu unternehmen. Heute ist es ein In-Viertel mit modernen Restaurants, Bars, Tavernen und kleinen Hotels, in dem auch vermehrt Künstler wohnen.
Es gibt unterschiedlichste Formen von Graffiti und Streetart. Doch bereits diese beiden Formen stehen sehr grundsätzlich gegeneinander. Graffiti beinhaltet als zentralen Bestandteil Buchstaben, die in unterschiedlichster Weise und mit unterschiedlichsten Techniken künstlerisch dargestellt werden.
Streetart beinhaltet in der Regel ein Bild.
Im Gespräch mit dem Graffiti Künstler Senor, den wir zufällig treffen, wurde dieser Unterschied sehr stark verdeutlicht. Für ihn ist dies eine Frage der Philosophie, Graffiti hat immer mit Buchstaben zu tun, Streetart ist zu einer kommerziellen Bezeichnung geworden und hat mehr mit Marketing und Verkauf zu tun. Senor zeichnet seit über 20 Jahren Graffiti, aber nicht um Geld zu verdienen oder berühmt zu werden. Trotzdem setzt Senor auf Qualität und nicht auf Quantität. Seinen Lebensunterhalt bestreitet er mit Skulpturen gemixt mit Videoart. Heute noch zeichnet er seine Graffitis mit Freude, es lässt ihn, wie er sagt, ein wenig Kind bleiben. Später hatten wir noch die Gelegenheit ein großes Graffiti von ihm zu sehen, das er in vier Stunden geschaffen hatte.
Beim Gespräch mit einem Ladeninhaber eines Graffiti Zubehör Geschäftes konnte man erkennen, dass sich die Szene immer noch in einer gewissen Grauzone bewegt.
Im Laufe der Führung machte uns Manolis immer wieder auf die unterschiedlichen Maltechniken aufmerksam und wie man daran die Künstler erkennen kann. Der in Russland geborene Künstler Nar arbeitet z. B. mit einer schwarzen Farbe aus einer Teer-Verbindung. Sie wird grob aufgebracht, so dass feuchte Schlieren an der Wand herunterlaufen. Diese Schriftzüge sind im ganzen Viertel eindeutig zu erkennen und dem Künstler zuzuordnen.

Is university for everyone? Is philosophy for everyone? The teaching of philosophy in universities, very clearly, is NOT for everyone, it's really set up just to serve a very narrow sort of student, being trained as a (potential) research specialist. And that's a problem.

Plaka, Anafiotika & Syntagma (Αθήνα/Athens)
Pláka (Greek: Πλάκα) is the picturesque old historical neighbourhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. During the early modern age and until the early 20th century Plaka was noted at the time as the Albanian quarter of Athens[1][2][3][4][5] It is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists around the year, and is under strict zoning and conservation regulations, being the only neighborhood in Athens where all utilities (water, power, cable television, telephone, internet, and sewage) lie underground in fully accessible, custom-made tunnelling. Motor vehicles are not allowed in Plaka, and most streets are too narrow, thus not being able to accommodate them anyway.
Museums in Plaka include the new Jewish Museum of Greece, the Greek Folk Art Museum and the Frissiras Museum. Excavations have proven that Adrianou Street is the oldest street in Athens still in continuous use with the exact same layout since antiquity. Of special interest is the neighborhood of Anafiotika, the part of Plaka that is built against the northern slope of the Acropolis; built by immigrants from the Aegean island of Anafi in the early 19th century, it features traditional Cycladic architecture.
The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates near the Acropolis of Athens was erected by the choregos Lysicrates, a patron of many theatrical performances in the Theater of Dionysus, to commemorate the award of first prize in 335 BC or 334 BC, to one of the performances he had sponsored. The choregos was the sponsor who paid for and supervised the training of the dramatic dance-chorus.
Syntagma Square (Greek: Πλατεία Συντάγματος, Constitution Square), is located in central Athens, Greece. The Square is named after the Constitution King Othon was forced to grant the people after a popular and military uprising, on September 3, 1843.
The square proper is bordered by Vassileos Georgiou A' Street to the north, Othonos Street to the south, Filellinon Street to the west and Amalias Avenue to the east. The eastern side of the square is higher than the western, and dominated by a set of marble steps leading to Amalias Avenue; beneath these lies the Syntagma metro station. The stairs emerge below between a pair of outdoor cafes, and are a popular city-centre gathering place. Syntagma also includes two green areas to the north and south, planted with shade trees, while in the center of the square a large water fountain traditionally hosts the occasionally sighted Syntagma pigeons, along with heat-tormented Athenians during the summer.
Syntagma Square is also the frequent site of political demonstrations. The Greek Parliament is immediately across Amalias Avenue to the east, and surrounded by the extensive National Gardens, which are open to the public. Every hour, the changing of the guard ceremony, performed by the Presidential Guard, is conducted in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the area between the square and parliament. On Sundays and official holidays, the ceremonial changing of the guard takes place with an army band and the majority of the 120 Evzones present at 11am.
Syntagma Square is also a hub for many forms of public transportation in Athens; Syntagma station of the Athens Metro is here, the tram stops here, and buses or trolley-buses are available to many points in the city. Travel between Syntagma Square and the Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is available via special airport bus and metro lines. Free wireless Internet access at high speeds (4 Mbit/s) is offered by the Municipality of Athens at the Square.
The Square is also located near many of Athens' oldest and most famous neighbourhoods and tourist attractions. The neighborhoods of Plaka (Πλάκα), Monastiraki (Μοναστηράκι), Psiri (Ψυρρή) and Kolonaki (Κολωνάκι) are all within walking distance, and most of the famous sites of ancient Athens are nearby, including the Acropolis (Ακρόπολις), the Theater of Dionysus, the Areopagus, the Ancient Agora of Athens (Αρχαία Αγορά των Αθηνών) with Hadrian's Library, the Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora, the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, the Arch of Hadrian (Αψίς του Ανδριανού), the Temple of Olympian Zeus (Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός), the Pnyx (Πνύκα), the Philopappos Monument (Μνημείο του Φιλοπάππου) on the Hill of the Nymphs, the Kerameikos Cemetery (Νεκροταφείο Κεραμικού), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Μνημείο του Αγνώστου Στρατιώτη) and Lycabettus Hill. Historic churches also dot the area, some dating from the Middle Ages. (wikipedia)
